Zucchini and Bacon Slice

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 large zucchini grated
1 carrot grated
1/2 onion finely diced
1/2 cup grated cheese
300g thinly sliced bacon
Pinch of baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Beat the eggs in a large bowl then add salt, pepper and baking powder. Gently stir these ingredients together. Pour into a baking dish lined with baking paper for 25mins at 180 degrees.

This slice is great in lunch boxes. It holds its shape and holds stacks of nutrition as well. This is one of my favorites. I have lost count how much zucchini slice we ate while protesting in the freezing cold out side the gates of AGL's Frack farm at Gloucester NSW. It kept us fed and happy.
